My Name is Peter

I was sitting on the couch enjoying how beautifully written 1 and 2 Peter was. I wondered how many poems were based off of biblical accounts and teachings, so I decided to give my hand a try.

My Name is Peter

I’ve come to you through Christ who’s true

So as you all may know

That thick or thin or sorrow or blues

Christ’s truth will always show

Inside the heart of our God’s truth

Showing how to treat each other

A love able to make all sin undo

God’s glory gained through fellow brothers

Christ’s sufferings for our own selves

A given example to follow

No insult, quarries or rebukes,

Just eyes on the One who judges all

Now our sufferings not all for vain

Just following Christ’s model  

He’s asked of us to do the same

God’s great rewards should all compel

To rid our bodies of the lust that dwells

Though sometimes misconstrued

How sad to live in chains and cells

Over much desired earthly dues

Much more earthly things were spoken

As a bond between lovers of God

The responsibilities of our men

The submissive ways of women kind

The angels from the Lord on High

Still punished for their wrongs

How much more should we bring glory

To our ever merciful God

You have been told and told again

You have been shown the wrongs

And after the harsh reprimand

God is holding wide His open arms
